Let me first showcase my creations. I had so much fun playing with the new dies :)

For my first card I decided to make a baby card using the Shaker Balloon #2 Star dies. I used a blue patterned paper along with the neutral card stock to make my shaker. For the string I added some die cut circles (using ATC Tag Builder) and colored these with my Spectrum Noir Markers. To finish the card I assembled it all along with the Congrats word die after heat embossing the sentiment (from the Baby Bump set).

Coloring with Prisma color pencils is fun and I like how versatile my Frames and flowers set can be :) Here is a closeup. I used some wink of stella on the gift box. I couldn't capture it so well on camera.

Now to my final creation, this is simple stamping and coloring with Markers. The card panel is inked with distress inks :) I am showcasing the Blossom Sprays #1 in my floral cluster series :) For the sentiment I have used

Here are a couple of closeups! There will soon be another post where I will share cards using all of my Blossom series :) I am pretty excited about that one. You will see a lot of styles we can do with these :)

Here is the card, I created inspired by colors and the intricate baskets :)

I took a watercolor panel and stamped my balloon images with distress inks multiple times by masking, I did water coloring over these stamped images and the background. Once dried I stamped the strings and the sentiment. I also did some inlaid die cutting with the Birthday word die. to match the intricate baskets I added a strip of patterned paper under the water colored panel. I have used Kathryn's Big Wishes stamp set and Birthday Word die. I used Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I also added Wink of Stella to make the balloons shine :)
